Currently the provisioning of Communication sites can't be automated. You have to use the UI. For many of our customers that have implemented the Office DevPnP engine (or any type of other custom solutions) this is a major challenge/issue.

Please add support for creating Communication sites using PowerShell, API and PnP!

Current PowerShell cmdlets available to administer SharePoint Online don't have enough functionality at or below the Site Collection level.

I would like to see more of the on-prem cmdlet functionality migrated to SPO to be able to gather configuration data, site hierarchy, site / document library permissions, and other such information to quickly build documentation and reports.

We have huge customization of mapped user data in User Properties in UPS and of course full sync with AD bidirectional. We will welcome some kind of dump of the settings with possibility of scripting (at least export / import settings to UPS)

How awesome would it be if we were allowed to export a SharePoint environment's configuration into a PowerShell script allowing you to easily rebuild your environment. Let's assume I spend 2 hours configuring my SharePoint farm using the GUI, it'd be awesome if I could somehow, within Central Administration, export my environment's configuration (Web Apps, Service Apps, services Enabled, etc). I know this is a long stretch and would probably very hard to accomplish, but it'd be awesome.

Following the release of the Office 365 CDN, the picture automatic switching function is disabled by default on “Picture Library Slideshow Web Part”.
If you want to use the picture automatic switching function, you need to register the “Picture Library” r in Office 365 CDN.
But using PowerShell command is the only way to register in the library.
It would be really helpful if there’s a way to register library in Office 365 CDN from UI.

We are configuring our SharePoint Online / OneDrive For Business automatically by powershell scripts. Unfortunately, you can not script all Settings, so we have to do them manually in the Admin Center. Such Settings are:
- MySite Pre-Provisioning
- Restrict MySite Pre-Provisioning
- My Site Cleanup Secondary Owner
- Script Setting that controls whether or not the ‘Copy to SharePoint’ button will appear in OneDrive
- Ability to enable/disable IRM for OneDrive Globally
- Ability to enable/disable IRM for individual OneDrive Sites
- My Site Secondary Admin
- Links to Office Applications

Automating those Settings would help us copying Settings between our different staging Areas, so they are all configured the same way.

Currently, confirming user rights on OneDrive for Business requires to either the overview screen of rights granted to OneDrive for Business itself and the screen that shows rights granted to individual items for each individual user.
As checking the individual items again requires to open their respective screens, this can be a time-consuming and tedious process when handling a large number of users.
It would be nice if there was one condensed screen showing, or a PowerShell command or function allowing to output and bulk check, all rights that the users within a tenant a currently holding.

With the Site Content & Structure tool being removed, we need a way to be able to relocate/move a subsite via PowerShell. For example a frequent way of working is to have a site collection for projects and under that lots of individual project sites. We usually setup a subsite in the projects collection called "Archive" or similar and all the finished projects get moved there.

To be clear, I am NOT asking for the ability to move sites between collections, just the same Move function that is currently in the Site Content & Structure tool.
